The above mixture should produce a large yield of pas- 
ture or a good tonnage of hay with an aftermath of pas- 
ture. If a greater variety is desired 2 Ibs. of Redtop Grass 
can be added. It will add something to the late pasturage. 
The trefoils, especially the Broadleaf, are anes prom- 
ise in high elevation meadows. 
Irrigated Meadows frequently become weedy and sod- 
bound by reason of excessive irrigation and any program 
of meadow improvement should contemplate a readjust- 
_ ment in irrigation practice so that moisture will be ade- 
quate for maximum growth, but not excessive. 
Protracted watering from one outlet is especially detri- 
mental to the growth and yield of good hay and pasture 
plants. 
Irrigation should be by rotation and with the runs short 
enough so that each area can be watered i in a period of 24 
to 48 hours. 
Efficient practices in renovation, reseeding, irrigation 
and both haying and grazing management will generally 
result in a large increase in hay and pasture yields and in 
a marked improvement in the quality of the output.
